In the group stages of the top CEV Champions League, “Thrylos” will face Monza from Italy, Fenerbahce from Turkey and Grizzlies from Germany in Pool.
Andrea Gardini"We are happy because we achieved the goal we had. We are in the group stage and this is very good for us, I am proud of the guys! It wasn't easy because in our preparation we were playing qualifying matches. But I'm not satisfied with how we played in the second part of the second set. We lost our concentration and allowed them to come back. We will improve our game because the group stage is difficult. The first goal was achieved."
